Demonstrators arrested at
Wall Street anti-nuke rail
NEW YORK (UPD—Police arrested dozens
of anti-nuclear demonstrators Monday as they
tried to shut down the Nm Nik Stock
Exchange in a protest of the financial
community 's funding of the nuclear industry
The first arrests came at 7 a m whan >
people were arrested at Wall Street and
Broadway, one block from the front entrance of
the exchange
The protestors, chanting “no more nukes, no
more nukes." were lying down on the sidewalk
and sliding their bodies inch by inch until they
closed off a single file opening that police tried
to keep passable through the barricades for
exchange employees
At that point, police arrested t.
demonstrators, carrying them several feet to a
nearby police van
By 7.30 a m . about too people had been

Police said the demonstrators would
probably be charged with disorderly conduct
No injuries were reported
As the demonstrators were being arrested,
another group of protestors, in a reference to
the great stock market crash 50 years ago
today when stock brokers leaped from the
windows of the exchange, held up a sign in
huge red letters that read. "Don't Jump
other protestors tossed paper money into the
a;r in the demonstration, sponsored by Wall
Street Action, a coalition of loo anti nuclear
groups.
Dozens of Exchange employees, apparently-
told to report for work early, filed through
l^.'ice lines, showing identification cards or
special passes.
Rusk says emotions may be
too high for Middle East peace
TALLAHASSEE. Fla (L'PIl-
Former Secretary of State Dean
Rusk said Friday it may be
impossible to obtain peace in
the Middle Easi because emo
tions run too deeply on both
sides.
"Feelings on both sides arc
so strong and deep lhai govern
ments cannot make the conces
sions necessary and si ill remain
in power," Rusk said.
"Governments may noi have
the capability of obtaining
peace. I hope I am wrong.”
Rusk, a University of Georgia
professor of intcrntional law
who served as secretary of state
in l%l-69, discussed ihc Arab-
Israeli situation, the presence of
Soviet troops in Cuba and the
presidency in a
Capital I igcr
talk lo the
Club.
"The common people on both
sides in the Middle Fast want
peace, not war .” he said, and
may have to wait until the youth
arc in power to achieve it.
He said the presence of 3.000
Soviet 'roops m Cuba w as over
blown. adding on a scale of I to
10. "ii's a I of I '
"There wen over 22.000
troops there during the Cuban
missile crisis. he said. "We
never perceived that ground
force personnel constituted a
lbreal.
’What
urns me.
he
said, "is noi what the Russians
arc doing there, but what the
Cubans they arc training art-
doing in other parts of tht
world."
Rusk, who served under the
laic Presidents Kcnnedv and
Johnson, said although people
think of ihc president as sitting
in an office making decisions all
day. he really can do little by
himself
"The presidency is little moe
than a license lo persuade.” he
said. Think of the president asa
sheep dog. trying to round up
enough people to go in the same
direction long enough to have a
policy."

Going lo school in the heart of
snow-skiing country winter
quarter sounds like a good idea
i<> two University men. As part
of ihc National Student Ex
change they will be students at
the University of Northern Col
orado and pay in-state tuition.
The NSF provides oppor
tunities for students "to see
another pan of the country. find
out about different cultures, and
grow through these experi
ences.” David Fletcher and Li/
Fink of ihc Office of Student
Affairs said.
Fink explained ihc qualifica
tions for admission lo the
program. A student must have a
2 > grade point average and
lull-lime sophomore or junior
standing during the transfer
period.
Cindy Blunk. an exchange
student from Indiana Slate,
said, "it gives you a tasie of
something else.” She is particu
larly pleased with the "oldness
of Athens and the green, rolling
hills instead of flat land." Cindy
says the University is much
friendlier and classes are more
relaxed. "The football games
are something else! So big.
Everybody goes and everybody
cheers." she said.
Marie Rictnian. an exchange
agriculture journalism major
front Oregon has been able to
lake specialized courses un-
ax ailahlc ai her school. She’s
taking advantage of the pro
grams offered by the reput JbV
agriculture, and |<nnqalv>m H
schools here.
Marie quickly joined in activi
ties here. She went on the
caving expedition with the Un
ion's Outdoor Recreation, and
was chairman of the recent
blood drive.
A person can spend up to
three quarters at one of 34
colleges or universities in the
United States, and transfer of
credits is guaranteed. A student
pre-registers with the aid of an
advisor before leasing the home
campus, so all the frustration of
registration at an unfamiliar
schtNil Is eliminated.
Fight University students are
on exchange now—one at the
University of Hawaii—and eight
students front other campuses
are here.
University students know th*-
advantages ot this campus.
Exchange students arc enthus
iastic. too. "I love it here. Sure.
I’d conic back!” said Marie
Riot man
